♥MYC267 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 It phases me why people continue to put up hardware/software related web sites... there is hardly a margin and so much competition. Good luck... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure like your nav menu - nice job. and the center layout is nice and tidy ... But that right hand column mess has got to go! Sorry I cannot comment on the bugs you got ... you will have to wait for more input from the experts as to fixing your "problems". Best of Succccesssssssss!

Good luck... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know this may be off topic but i will get to the review. The above comment has got right up my nose thats all. People that are in a tight competitive market put their sites up for review so that they can compete in that market, and hopefully compete well. Its what business is all about. I wish you good luck. Now i have let off steam, to the review. I love reviewing sites in the same line of business as mine, more than anything to see how they approach the whole thing. The first thing i noticed was that on this page i had to scroll right to see the complete page. That will stop people browsing for sure. IMHO all your information pages need a better layout, and most of them need more information. Your about us page is just a page of text, there is no formatting or paragraphs. Use html like <p><br><u> and things like that to break the page up, and make them readable. Also your conditions of use page read more like a payment page. If this is how its going to stay, alter the page title and tink to reflect this. Although your categories box looks nice, i think its too long. I like to see all the categories listed on the top part of the page. This makes me want to click on thewm to see whats there, i dont want to scroll down a page to see what you are selling. I could go on, but i wont. You need to get some form of metatag information on all your pages or people wont even be able to find you, in a competitive market.I would also get rid of those big buttons. You should really be aiming at something that looks hi-tech. Get some of these things sorted and you will be getting there.

Tekken8 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I could go on, but i wont. You need to get some form of metatag information on all your pages or people wont even be able to find you, in a competitive market. Meta tags hardly count for Google, Yahoo and MSN. Important is the <TITLE> tag and the words in the first alinea of your content. The biggest part of the determiniation wheter you will rank high or low comes from incoming liks.

medalta Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 It phases me why people continue to put up hardware/software related web sites... I thought the same way until I ran across two people in my city that set up an osCommerce site selling very much the same thing this person is. I have talked with them a few times and they are doing quite well. What difference does it make what you are selling? If you are enjoying the process and the concept of on-line shops then go for it. Just try real hard not to lose money. If nothing else fix your buttons . . . That Drives Me Nuts. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 From your logo banner it says you specialize in VOIP, etc. but there are not any VOIP items on your index page. If someone was actualy looking for your "specialty" they would bounce out as soon as they came in and saw a bunch of cameras and photo printers. As a matter of fact, your index has exactly zero content other than the new products box (that has no VOIP items in it, btw) and some silly referral URL to a unknown search engine. Giving your most prime real estate on your site to a 3rd party referral is dumb. Don't know a nice way to say that- it's just dumb. Sorry. Your products are good, your prices look fair, but you really need to work on your product presentation to draw customers deeper into your store instead of sending them away. My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you.

I'm feeling the same way and working on it. BTW VOIP is part of my consulting business, I use the same logo.... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
